I've got the Pilot script for 90210!!!!!

[dearprudence]

SILVER
Great. Because there’s this party I
think we should crash. Ask me which
one.

ANNIE
Which one?

SILVER
Naomi Bennett’s Not-So-Sweet 16.
Silver smiles her devilish grin.
EXT. WEST BEVERLY HILLS HIGH SCHOOL - PARKING LOT
Ethan, George and a few cronies are walking to their cars.
Ethan is feeling really guilty.

GEORGE
You should have seen the look on
his face. “He’s lying, Dad.”

The others laugh.

ETHAN
Just shut up.

GEORGE
Oh don’t be such a puss. Who cares
about that Obama.

ETHAN
You know, you can be a real thingy.

GEORGE
What’s your problem?

ETHAN
The next time somebody kicks your
ass, fix it yourself.

Ethan gets into his SUV and drives off.

INT. WEST BEVERLY HILLS HIGH SCHOOL – CLASSROOM

Naomi drops her paper on Ryan Matthews’s desk as he’s preparing
to leave. He picks it up and looks at the cover.

RYAN MATTHEWS
Edith Wharton. Pretty
sophisticated for sixteen.

"90210" Thomas Rewrite by Sachs & Judah 4/20/08 49.

NAOMI
Sorry to kill the stereotype, but
I’m not some dumb bimbo.



RYAN MATTHEWS
You know, if it were up to me, I
would have given you the “F.”

NAOMI
Oh I know you want to “F” me. But
what grade are you giving me?

RYAN MATTHEWS
I’ll read it tonight.

Ryan starts to exit.

RYAN MATTHEWS (CONT’D)
Anyway, have a good time making the
world a better place with your
party, Paris.

NAOMI
Why do you hate me so much?

RYAN MATTHEWS
Same reason as everybody else.

INT. HARRY’S CAR - EVENING
Harry and Annie are parked in Tabitha’s driveway.

HARRY
I am too angry with you to talk
about this right now. The only
thing I will say is that you are
grounded for a month.

ANNIE
But what about the play?

HARRY
The play you can do. But anything
outside of school, like the party
tonight? Forget it.

ANNIE
But everyone is going.

HARRY
Then you should have thought of
that first.
"90210" Thomas Rewrite by Sachs & Judah 4/20/08 50.

INT. TABITHA MILLS HOME – NIGHT

Harry and Celia are reading the paper on the couch. We hear
footsteps and music from Annie’s room above.

CELIA
She’s pacing up there like a
panther in a cage. Do you really
think it was fair to let Dixon go
to the party after he got in a
fight but ground Annie?

HARRY
So we should just let her cheat
like that and not have any
punishment?

CELIA
No, but it could have started
tomorrow.

HARRY
Yeah, it could have. But I guess I
feel like we have to be a little
tougher out here.

CELIA
I guess I feel that you were easier
on Naomi than your own daughter.

INT. ANNIE’S BEDROOM
Harry and Celia knock on the door, then enter.

HARRY
Sweetie. It’s not even eight yet.
You can still go to the party.
They find Tabitha pacing around the room and an open window.

HARRY (CONT’D)
Where is Annie?

TABITHA
Exactly where she’s supposed to be.

END OF ACT FIVE

"90210" Thomas Rewrite by Sachs & Judah 4/20/08 51.


ACT SIX
INT. HONDA CIVIC - MOVING - NIGHT
Silver is driving, dressed in something that might make Gwen
Stefani blush. Annie rides shotgun.

SILVER
Okay, one of those small world
stories. The printer Naomi used to
make her party invites? Same
printer the theater department uses
for programs and whatnot. Voila.

She whips out a stack of party invites.

SILVER (CONT’D)
I gave about fifty to these skaters
from Fairfax High. This is all I
have left.
She rolls down the window and screams at some pedestrians.
SILVER (CONT’D)
Party tonight! Free booze!
She flings them out into the street.

INT. NAVID’S CAR – NIGHT

Dixon and Navid cruise down Sunset Boulevard in all its glory.

DIXON
Thanks for letting me be your
wingman tonight. I had to get into
this party.

NAVID
You’re not my wingman, you’re my
pregnant dog. We’re working. Of course
once we get enough footage...

[dearprudence]

DIXON
Oh yeah. I need to hang with some
of these hot babes, get my mind off
the lacrosse fiasco.

NAVID
Why doesn’t your dad just make them
put you back on the team?

"90210" Thomas Rewrite by Sachs & Judah 4/20/08 52.

DIXON
He can’t. He tried. District
wouldn’t let him so he’s filing an
appeal. But like I said, Ethan
will get his.

NAVID
What did you do?

DIXON
We’ll see.

NAVID
Okay so then answer me this,
because I gotta ask: What’s the
deal with you being in a white
family?

DIXON
They were my foster family from
when I was like eight and then they
adopted me when I was ten.

NAVID
So what about your real parents?

DIXON
They are my real parents.

And they drive up to...
EXT. BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL - ESTABLISHING
The hotel looking, gorgeous at night.

EXT. BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL - LAWN - NIGHT
MUSIC - Hip modern remix of Nino Rota 60’s pop.
Dixon and Navid are shooting video. There’s a d**n HELICOPTER
suspended from unseen wires, and hanging from the helicopter is
a giant “La Dolce Vita” movie poster. But this one has Naomi
assuming the pose of Anita Ekberg.
We HEAR A ROAR OF ENGINES and kids squealing.
We find hundreds of well-dressed, excited kids gathered for the
grand entrance. Five classic Vespas motor up the sidewalk in
front of the cheering guests. Naomi arrives last wearing the
ANITA EKBERG dress.

"90210" Thomas Rewrite by Sachs & Judah 4/20/08 53.
FAKE PAPARAZZI in classic Italian suits begin snapping photos of
the girls as they climb off the Vespas and stroll up the red
carpet to the Crystal Ballroom waving to the guests.
Reveal that Dixon, Annie, Silver and Navid are all standing
together. Dixon and Annie’s jaws are on the floor.

NAVID
Just like back home?

DIXON
Back home we cruise from the Dairy
Queen to the Wal-Mart parking lot.
So, yeah, pretty much the same.

Annie gets a text message from Harry.

ANNIE
Uh oh. Dad knows.
Dixon’s cell vibrates too.

DIXON
I just got one too. It says “Come
home now.” But at this point, how
much more trouble can you get into?

ANNIE
You know what? I’ve been the good
girl my entire life and I still got
grounded. And I may never get out
again, so the hell with it. I’m
staying.

The foursome all holler their approval.

ANNIE (CONT’D)
But I’ll text Mom I’m okay and that
I’ll be home around midnight.

DIXON
And I’ll text her that you’re with
me the whole time so you’re safe.
Meet me back here at 11:30.
The girls head off. Dixon spots his girl, the Dark-Haired
Beauty. He grabs Navid’s shoulder, excitedly.

DIXON (CONT’D)
Who’s that girl?

NAVID
Lauren Strange.
(off Dixon’s look)

"90210" Thomas Rewrite by Sachs & Judah 4/20/08 54.
(MORE)
I swear that’s her name. Rumor is
she once... “talked” her way onto
the Buckcherry tour bus—

DIXON
This place. There’s like maybe
four chicks like that in the entire
midwest. Maybe.

INT. BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL HALLWAY - NIGHT
Annie and Silver approach the two girls working the door.
There’s a red velvet rope and a couple muscle-bound bouncers in
sunglasses and suits keeping out the undesirables.

SILVER
So are we going to the ballroom at
all or just hitting the room
parties?

ANNIE
What’s the difference?

SILVER
Room parties are where all the
action is -- the sex, drugs, and
mini-bar banditry.

ANNIE
Let’s stick to the ballroom.

SILVER
I’m with ya. All the quality guy
browsing happens in the ballroom.

ANNIE
Actually, I have a boyfriend. He’s
back in Wichita.

SILVER
Trust me, that ain’t gonna last.

Silver hands over the invitations. The girl regards her
suspiciously.

SILVER (CONT’D)
Move the rope, honey.

INT. BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL - CRYSTAL BALLROOM - NIGHT
TWO SHOT of Silver and Annie as they enter. What she sees takes
Annie’s breath away. Silver is unfazed.

"90210" Thomas Rewrite by Sachs & Judah 4/20/08 55.
NAVID (CONT'D)
REVEAL ANNIE’S POV - it’s decadence everywhere she looks. Hypersexualized
dancing. A recreation of the Trevi fountain in the
center of the room. Hard-bodied bartenders in tight 1960s-style
bathing trunks and bikini-clad bartendresses stand on tables and
pour shot bottles straight into the open mouths of the partygoers.

SILVER
What did I tell you -- lame.

INT. TABITHA MILLS HOME
Harry is putting on his jacket to go out. Annie and Tabitha
watch.

ANNIE
Okay, I get that you are angry, but
don’t make a scene. She has to go
to school with these kids for the
next two years.

HARRY
I won’t. But she just can’t sneak
out when she’s grounded, then
totally disregard us ordering her
home. I mean, I know I was maybe
too tough before, but now? I’m
right and you know it.

TABITHA
Woo hoo. Maybe they should throw
you a parade.

Harry exits.

ANNIE
You really shouldn’t interfere with
the kids, Tabitha.

TABITHA
Get used to it.

INT. BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL - CRYSTAL BALLROOM - NIGHT
Dixon and Navid stand by the bar.

NAVID
I’m gonna go pick up some B-roll.

DIXON
You do that.

"90210" Thomas Rewrite by Sachs & Judah 4/20/08 56.
Navid departs. Dixon scans the room with his eyes until he finds
her -- Lauren Strange on the dance floor. She’s dancing with
another girl. If Dixon had been in Beverly Hills longer, he’d
probably realize quickly that she’s rolling hard on E.
Dixon isn’t shy. He makes his way out to her.


DIXON
I made it.

LAUREN
It’s you. It’s really you.

Lauren surprises Dixon by throwing her arms around him and
putting her tongue in his mouth. The kiss lasts seconds.

LAUREN (CONT’D)
Let’s go upstairs.

DIXON
(what planet am I on?)
Cool.

ANOTHER PART OF THE BALLROOM
Annie and Silver are crossing, but they get separated. They are
several feet away from each other when Silver runs into Adrianna
and Annie into Naomi.

SILVER
Too bad about the play. But I
figured if I poured a half bottle
of Nyquil into your Coke, Annie
would get her chance. Just
kidding. Maybe.
Adrianna can’t believe what she just heard as Silver walks away.
ANGLE on Annie and Naomi.

ANNIE
If you want us to leave—

NAOMI
That’s a beautiful dress, Annie.
You look great.

ANNIE
Thanks. So what did Mr. Matthews
give you on your paper?

NAOMI
I don’t know. He’s grading it
tonight.
"90210" Thomas Rewrite by Sachs & Judah 4/20/08 57.

Naomi walks away. She doesn’t seem her normal snotty self.

INT. RYAN MATTHEWS APARTMENT
Ryan is reading Naomi’s paper. He’s marking it up when there is
a knock at the door. He gets up and opens it. It’s the The
Michael Cera-Type kid. They are both surprised.

RYAN MATTHEWS
Where’s Tim?

MICHAEL CERA-TYPE
I don’t know Tim. They just sent
me.

RYAN MATTHEWS
Yeah, uh, look, you’re not—

MICHAEL CERA-TYPE
I’m not going to say anything, Mr.
Matthews. Bad for business.
He hands him a baggie of pills, Ryan hands him some money and
shuts the door. His expression says “oh f**k.”

INT. BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL
Harry enters the hotel lobby looking for Annie. He spies her as
she comes out of the ballroom with Silver. They are laughing
and having a great time in that silly way that only the young
can. Harry smiles at seeing her so happy. And looking so
beautiful.

EXT. BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL

Harry is on his cell to Celia as he exits.

HARRY
She doesn’t have me tied around her
finger. I just figured it’s been a
tough week, I forced the move on
her, maybe I should cut her some
slack.
He looks up and sees Tracy Bennett smoking on the steps and
heading towards him.

HARRY
I’ll be home soon. Love ya.

"90210" Thomas Rewrite by Sachs & Judah 4/20/08 58.

TRACY BENNETT
We need to talk.

INT. BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL - GUEST ROOM – NIGHT

A notorious room party. The smoky room is jammed with kids.
Heavy-duty drinking going on everywhere the camera points.
CAMERA EVENTUALLY FINDS DIXON. He’s pressed up against a wall.
Lauren is making out with him. She pulls away

[dearprudence]

LAUREN
What’s your name, again?

DIXON
Dixon.

LAUREN
How about we--
Lauren’s phone vibrates. She reads the text message.

LAUREN (CONT’D)
I gotta go. My boyfriend finally
got here. You want to meet him?

DIXON
No.
And with that, she is gone. Leaving Dixon confused but still
happy.

EXT. BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL
Harry and Tracy are having it out in the parking lot.

TRACY BENNETT
Yes, I am still angry. And maybe
if you had at least talked to me
back then, taken more
responsibility than just giving me
200 dollars and running back to
college it wouldn’t bother me so
much. Would it have killed you to
call me? Write a letter?

HARRY
I didn’t know how to handle it,
okay? We were broken up. I’m
sorry, I freaked, but it was more
than twenty years ago. And besides,
I did ask about you afterwards.
"90210" Thomas Rewrite by Sachs & Judah 4/20/08 59.
(MORE)
You went off to Europe for the
year.

TRACY BENNETT
I didn’t go to Europe, Harry. And
I didn’t go to the clinic. I went
away to have the baby. So he could
be adopted. We have a son
together.
Harry is in shock...

INT. BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL - CRYSTAL BALLROOM - NIGHT
Naomi is holding the microphone and addressing her guests in the
background as Dixon strolls into the room looking for Navid.
However, he is stopped by Ethan sitting on one of the chairs.
Ethan is sporting a pretty good-sized black eye.

ETHAN
You’re back on the team, Millsy.

DIXON
What? How?

ETHAN
How do you think? I told coach the
truth.

DIXON
Really?


ETHAN
Of course some of the guys weren’t
too happy about it so we may be the
only players on the team now.

DIXON
That’s okay, man. That’s all we
need.
(beat)
Hey. Thanks for doing that.

ETHAN
Just pass me the ball, Dude.

They turn their attention to Naomi as she turns her attention to
Ethan.

NAOMI
Lastly, I want to thank my
boyfriend, Ethan. You have taught
me so much, baby.

"90210" Thomas Rewrite by Sachs & Judah 4/20/08 60.
HARRY (CONT'D)
Random cheers. Ethan beams in his seat. Mouths “I love you.”
NAOMI (CONT’D)
I guess the biggest lesson you
taught me is never trust a man with
your heart. Ever.
Ethan’s eyes go wide. Suddenly you could hear a pin drop.
NAOMI (CONT’D)
Because recently I found out that
my boyfriend Ethan was getting BJ’s
from my best friend, Adrianna.
Ethan looks suddenly helpless in his seat. Adrianna turns
white. Navid is videotaping all of this. Ethan glares over at
Annie, who looks back and shakes her head “No” violently and
mouths “It wasn’t me.” He believes her, you just know she
wouldn’t.

ETHAN
Mills, when I find out who did this
I am going to mess them up bad.
DIXON
I don’t blame you.

The crowd starts booing Ethan.

ETHAN
Let’s get out of here.
Ethan exits, and pulled by force of personality, Dixon and Navid
follow him. Navid whispers.

NAVID
You told her, didn’t you?

DIXON
I don’t know nothing.

EXT. BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL PARKING LOT
Annie and Silver are walking to the car.

ANNIE
Every time I think I have seen or
heard it all out here, something
tops it.

SILVER
Wait until you spend Halloween in
West Hollywood.

"90210" Thomas Rewrite by Sachs & Judah 4/20/08 61.

ANNIE
Do you want to come over to my
house or go to yours?

SILVER
Yours. We got company, it’s too
crowded.

ANNIE
Okay, let’s-- is that Naomi?
Annie stops when she notices Naomi sitting by a palm tree crying
her eyes out.

SILVER
Oh god I hope so. I love seeing
her miserable.

ANNIE
It’s her birthday, Silver.

Annie heads over.

SILVER
I know. That’s what makes it fun
for me.

Annie stands next to Naomi.

ANNIE
Can we give you a ride somewhere?

INT. TABITHA MILLS HOME
Harry enters and finds Celia channel surfing on the couch.
Tabitha is sound asleep and snoring like a lumberjack.

CELIA
She might have had a drop of Cutty
Sark.
Harry hesitates for a beat, then...

HARRY
We need to talk.

"90210" Thomas Rewrite by Sachs & Judah 4/20/08 62.

EXT. SANTA MONICA BEACH

Underneath the Santa Monica pier. There are bonfires, surfboards
standing in the sand, a full moon illuminating the water, scores
of young people drinking and laughing, the coolest beach party
ever... And Ethan is teaching Dixon how to surf. They are
stripped down to their underwear and having a blast.

DIXON
I’m standing up. I’m standing.
Whoa.

He’s knocked over by a wave. They drag their tired bodies onto
the beach where Navid hands them Styrofoam containers.

ETHAN
You got pummeled, dude. Is that
beer?

NAVID
7up. I’m president of Students
Against Drunk Driving.

ETHAN
Who are you?

As the guys chug their drinks, off in the near distance we see
three women holding their shoes and walking in formal dresses to
the beach party. It’s Annie, Silver and Naomi.

ANNIE
Uh oh. Don’t look, but Ethan is
here.

NAOMI
I figured. That’s why I told you
to come here. Thanks for the ride,
Annie. Thanks for being so nice.

Naomi jogs up ahead to Ethan who looks at her for a beat, holds
out his hand and they go walking silently towards the pier until
they disappear in the shadows.

SILVER
That is one messed up relationship.

ANNIE
Once again, you think you’ve seen
it all...

"90210" Thomas Rewrite by Sachs & Judah 4/20/08 63.

SILVER
Speaking of potential
relationships, what’s the story on
your brother there? Because he is
looking good to me.

ANNIE
I think he’ll do anything with a
pulse.

SILVER
That’s one thing I do have.

Dixon and Navid approach.

DIXON
It’s 11:15. Think we should be
heading home.

ANNIE
Yeah, I just wish I brought my
bathing suit for a dip. I’ve still
never been in the ocean.

SILVER
Honey, this ain’t Podunk, Kansas.
Take off the dress and swim in your
underwear.

Silver takes off her dress and heads for the water.

ANNIE
Is this insane?

DIXON
This whole week’s been insane, but
when have we ever had this much
fun?
Annie smiles and then pulls off her dress.

ANNIE
Alright. Welcome to California.
They run to the water and dive in the ocean as we crane out...

END OF SHOW

[lilmisshalliwell]

did i miss brendas scene or something?

[marianne16]

thanks for the script but, where shannen

[ferociouskitty]

agreed!!

[dearprudence]

Notice the date on the script 4/20/08. The script was written pre-Shannen. I'm trying to get my dirty little hands on the revised script with Shannen.

[lovecharmed16]

Thanks for putting up the script! I think the grandmother is going to be hilarious. I must say its interesting trying to figure out which new character is most similiar to the original ones. I can't wait for this show!
